Swamp Thing

Pete and Ramon are back to wish everybody a Happy New Year, and a Happy Season 9 of Pete's Basement!
It's time to play catch-up for the last two weeks worth of books. The boys highlight some of their favorites, like the return of Swamp Thing to DC's role call, as well as newcomers Four Eyes and The Last Contract.
Daredevil Season 2 and other comic tv shows are the talk of the town, and Basement Buddy Chris Craddock is launching a rocket! Say what now? That's right! Sciencey stuff as Chris explains a new type of engine he's designed!
What are the boys most looking forward to in 2016?

The Basement Boys bid a fond farewell to a series they've enjoyed since the start of DC's New52: Swamp Thing!
Concluding with issue #40, the boys talk about Alec Holland's rise to power as the supreme Avatar of The Green, just how powerful he actually got, and the series-ending arc against The Machines! Read more »

Original Sin and Death of Wolverine leave the boys with plenty to say about the state of the Marvel Universe. Plus a slew of Future's End issues this week, and comics from Image, Dynamite, and BOOM! Studios, like Cloaks, Ex-Con, and God Hates Astronauts and you've got a recipe for a great roundtable episode with the original cast of Pete's Basement! Wait did somebody say recipe? Holy Hell, man! Be more careful around that many fat guys! Just download the episode already!

'Superheroes: The Never Ending Battle' PBS comic book special will air Oct. 8-15. Tune in to see Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn, Len Wein, creator of Wolverine, and Spider-Man writer Gerry Conway discuss how they (and us, aka the geeks) won the universe! Read more »

Pete talks about The Amazing Spider-Man movie, but has not yet seen Batman. Ramon saw Batman. Steve saw Batman, but Steve saw it after the show was filmed. We were unable to have Steve review it from the future because Pete got rid of his bowflex*. Oh, and they talk about comics too!
